Homework for the Weekend - 9/15 and 9/16

AP English III:

Juniors - What you need to do over the weekend is finish all of the stuff in the previous post.  The most important thing is to be ready for your assessments on The Great Gatsby - the skit and the quest.  We'll be doing both of these on Monday/Tuesday.  Also, I'll be collecting your Petrunkevitch/Woolf tone comparison essays on Monday/Tuesday as well.  This is meant to be a way for me to see how your analytical and formal writing skills are.  Please come and see me Friday afternoon if you need any help with it.

Lastly, you will want to find The Grapes of Wrath and begin rereading.  I would recommend you start with chapters one through three.

English I:

Over the weekend you need to complete the draft of your reminiscence assignment.  Remember that you aren't telling the story of your whole life but of one particular moment in time.  You need to fill your story with details and imagery that will then make everything clear to me.  We will be peer editing these assignments on Monday/Tuesday as well as reviewing for our exam.  These writing assignments will count as a major grade - so they need to show off your skills.

Speaking of major grades, you should probably start studying this weekend too.  I would suggest spending the weekend reviewing "About School" and the pieces by Malcolm X.  Next week, work on reviewing the remaining pieces.

If anyone needs help on anything, please come see me Friday or Monday afternoon.
